I have an Echo Show that I bought on #PrimeDay with the intention of watching cooking videos, but the truth is I rarely use it for anything more than when I need some music to sing along to in the kitchen. Then it’s, “Alexa play Guns N Roses,” “Alexa play me 80’s (or 70’s) music,” or “Alexa play me 80’s hair metal.” 😉

My dad lives in assisted living and I just bought him an Amazon Echo Show for Christmas. Because this is an interactive device that has educational, entertainment, books, music, TED talks, motivational speakers, video and so many other skills that can fill a lot of emptyhours, think about what a wonderful #VoiceActivated gift this would be for an elderly or house bound friend or relative. The Echo Show even allows you to talk via video messaging using your smartphone & the Alexa app!

I don’t do many product endorsements that fall outside of tools I use everyday when I am cooking, but this is one time I’m going to. Just so we’re clear, I do not get paid for product placements or endorsements. But, since it IS the main #GiftGivingSeason of the year, I recommend you watch for the discounts & bundled deals on the Echo Show, and the rest of this device series, in Amazon deals of the day. #ThisGirlLovesToShop

I started looking around and found that there are actually some useful things my Echo Show can do to help do things other than just cook in the kitchen, like stick to my diet. Maybe they can help you too.

If you are following any particular diet plan, there are many great tools that you can access with just your voice when you need some help or reassurance, like:
